I will chime in here on Safety. Go back to Norwalk Div 3 earlier this year....an A/SA and a P car hit at the top end. The A car was torn up very good (mainly because it was mostly.....uh non metal....both drivers where okay, but it should have brought the safety issue to light for many people. I have said to many people, many times it worries me. Since its only Me I can help in an accident that is why I wear a 15 suit, Hans and put a fire bottle in our SS car. COPO worries me more than the Challenger since you can't get out of a COPO with your helmet on if the door won't open.

Let those cars run with each other in a separate FX eliminator...I know it's been said
before by others...Also, I don't think there should ever be an 8-second Stocker...it doesn't
sound right to me...I'm still having a "problem" with 9-second Stock Elim cars...but that's
just my .02.....

Allowing "VIN-less" cars in Stock is just one more example of Stock Elim's intent being
compromised a bit further...then there's the speed differential with the slower cars...

I wouldn't want to be out there running those monsters with a 15-16 second "dime
rocket"....

I know what you mean by Vin-less cars , guys..but that's not the problem.Most of the 80's Olds Cutlasses you still see don't have VINs either.

There needs to be a specific description for the sake of discussion, and to be able to separate them , if desired. We know they were never certified for the road with emissions and CAFE standards. Also not part of a run of 500 or more cars.
I like FX cars , because that's what they are.
